Dr. Francesca Vailati is an internationally renowned prosthodontist specializing in non-invasive aesthetic dentistry, the rehabilitation of worn-down dentition, and full-mouth functional stabilization. After earning her medical degree from the University of Bari in 1996, she pursued extensive dental training in the United States, receiving her dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2000 and a certificate in Prosthodontics along with an MSD degree from the University of Connecticut in 2003. Upon returning to Europe, she joined the Department of Fixed Prosthodontics at the University of Geneva, where she served as a senior lecturer for many years. In 2005, Dr. Vailati developed the 3STEP method, a clinically validated, non-invasive protocol for full-mouth rehabilitation that emphasizes adhesive dentistry and functional stabilization. To advance this methodology, she founded the 3STEP Academy, which provides theoretical and practical training to clinicians worldwide. She currently maintains a private practice in Geneva, Switzerland, where she focuses on complex restorative cases and continues to lecture internationally on dental erosion and implant prosthodontics.
